Removing old bootloader entries

[chinesepiratefood]

Ok, well I have 2x250gb HDs in RAID0 that I have Windows installed on, and a wd640aaks as my storage, but about a month or so ago a corrupted Vista disk resulted in a few botched installations, and the boot info is still somewhere in my storage drive

Searching the drive shows many bootmgr.exe.mui files (languages) but I don't wan't to delete them if they effect my current setup.

I wouldn't assume they would, because if I unplug my storage drive the Windows 7 bootloader still loads as it should (dual booting XP and W7 right now)

msconfig > Boot [tab] > Select whatever entries you want to delete and press the "Delete" button.

They aren't there, already tried that.

Use this, it's free.

Hmm, just looked at the url again and now they want money for it. I got it for free quite a while back. Same as BCEDIT anyway but with an easier to use interface.

Hey, thanks for the link. Not for the easybscd but I see they also have a tooltip fixer.

That's been an annoyance I have hated on XP for a looong time. What's the point of tool tips in the system tray if they are hidden behind the task bar? This supposedly fixes it.

EasyBCD doesn't find the invalid entries. Dunno if the fact they are on a different HD makes a difference.
